Pregnancy and birthing care for expecting families
Pregnancy is a special time for you and your family. Your care team works together to provide specialized care before, during and after your delivery. And, if you need advanced care for a high-risk pregnancy, we’ll help connect you to the right specialists. Get all the care you need, including: breastfeeding support; high-risk pregnancy care; labor, delivery and postpartum care (including natural birth without epidural); maternal-fetal medicine and neonatal specialty care; midwives at select locations; OB-GYN and prenatal care; pregnancy, childbirth and new baby classes.
Pediatric care for your baby
Your growing family is our priority. By choosing Ascension St. Vincent to deliver your baby, you can establish a relationship with a Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital pediatrician that starts at birth. You can have confidence knowing you are connected to a network of specialists who deliver care for infants.
Midwifery care
If you prefer to choose a midwife for your care, our certified nurse midwives work alongside your care team to provide:
annual well-woman exams, care during labor and delivery, emotional and mental health support, postpartum care, and prenatal care and classes on pregnancy, birthing and breastfeeding. After your delivery, we can connect you and your baby with additional care, if needed.
Advanced care for high-risk pregnancy
Not everyone will need more care during their pregnancy, labor or delivery. But if you do, our maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) specialists work with your OB-GYN to deliver care for high-risk pregnancies and other health concerns, including high blood pressure, diabetes, heart problems and genetic disorders. Your care team will also work with you to help manage your condition after delivery. In Indianapolis, Peyton Manning Children's Hospital has a level IV NICU. In Evansville, our NICU at Peyton Manning Children's Hospital is Level III and is connected to the Women's Hospital.
